*pulls out a megaphone, which makes some disturbing sounds as he puts it to his mouth
We are NOT equal! This is NOT a perfect world!
*throws the megaphone, hitting somebody in the head and smiles as he notices that he\'s gotten everybody\'s attention
Remember when you enter a game for the first time and find yourself wearing equipment that is so shitty that you almost begin to wonder if it protects you or actually makes you lose health.
Then you see a guy walk around (that\'s right! real olbies never run), wearing a giant dragon armor +7 vs Newbs, and even though you know that attacking him could only result in you dying together with what little coolness you had, you challenge him over and over again.
So you want to be like that guy and that is what pushes you to keep playing the game. Then one day, after having played the game for a veeery long time, you meet this guy who acts like a completely moron and keeps challenging you and you can\'t stop wondering how anybody can act like such a moron. Since you do not feel like fighting somebody with such low status, you decide not to accept his challenge. Instead you talk to your friend who has just become a GM 9, and ask him to find a good reason to kick the guy. You are now an oldbie, and you are damn proud of it!
Now, what I want to say is that, as much as I would like to run around like a hippie and just hug all of you, while telling you all how much I love being your equal, I can\'t. There
are and always will be newbies and oldbies, simply because we love having it that way.
